South Africa captain Graeme Smith was delighted by the "perfect" way his side replaced England as the world's number one Test side as they held their nerve in a 51-run win at Lord's on Monday.
Victory gave South Africa the three-match series 2-0 after they'd crushed England by an innings and 12 runs in the first Test across London at The Oval before the second Test in Leeds was drawn.

South Africa captain Graeme Smith has said suggestions his side deliberately leaked text messages from Kevin Pietersen are "the biggest load of rubbish I have heard".
England will go into Thursday's third Test at Lord's without their star batsman after South Africa-born Pietersen was dropped last weekend, despite scoring 149 in the drawn second Test in Leeds, for failing to reveal the contents of those text messages, some of which were said to contain criticisms of England captain Andrew Strauss.

England captain Andrew Strauss was hailed as an "outstanding leader", as he became only the ninth England player to appear in 100 Tests when leading the side against South Africa at Lord's on Thursday.
The match, also Strauss's 50th as England captain, was taking place on the Middlesex batsman's home ground, where he scored a hundred on Test debut against New Zealand back in 2004.

Former South African fast bowling great Allan Donald compared Kevin Pietersen to West Indian legend Brian Lara after the England batsman hit his team back into the game with a spectacular century on the third day of the second Test at Headingley on Saturday.
Pietersen launched a savage assault after tea, hitting 149 not out as England reached 351 for five at the close, 68 behind South Africa's first innings total of 419.
